During the Premier League match between Manchester United and Brighton, fans were shocked to see Mason Mount being substituted at half-time. As the game resumed, manager Erik ten Hag revealed that Mount had picked up a knock in the first half, leading to his unexpected substitution.
Despite starting his second consecutive game of the season, Mount was unable to continue due to the injury. United were already trailing 1-0 after Danny Welbeck's opening goal, but Amad Diallo managed to score an equaliser in the second half. However, a last-minute winner from Joao Pedro secured a 2-1 victory for Brighton, leaving United with a disappointing away defeat.
The disappointment continued for United at full-time when Ten Hag confirmed that Mount's substitution was not a tactical decision, but rather a necessary one due to his injury. In an interview with TNT Sport, the Dutchman stated, "It was a decision. He had some problems and an issue. We are aware of Mount's injury history, so we made the decision to take him out of the game."
Unfortunately, Mount's injury troubles are not new. Last season, the talented midfielder missed a significant portion of the season due to a calf injury. This was especially frustrating for Mount, as it was his first season at Old Trafford after completing a record-breaking £60 million transfer from Chelsea.
As fans eagerly await updates on Mount's condition, it remains to be seen how long he will be sidelined for this time. In the meantime, Manchester United supporters can stay updated on all the latest news, exclusives, and analysis by signing up for updates and following the team's privacy policy.
